Deceptive Listing: Indoor Fireplace hasn't worked for over a year!!!
The gas lines are intentially disconnected so fire place will not work. I sent a video and pictures to VACASA (property management) and they did NOTHING for us. They said they sent this info. to the local property manager & owner and nothing was ever done even though they continually said they would send someone out to fix it starting on day 2 of our 16 day stay. We had to contact VACASA almost every other day for an update once no one showed up. For paying close to 3,000, we expect everything would be like the property listing description to be. We wanted a property with a fireplace and hot tube but found this property without a hot tube but it said in the LISTING TITLE and the FIRST SENTENCE OF THE DESCRIPTION that the fire place works!!!!!!!!! So we booked it looking forward to a working fireplace. VERY DISSAPOINTED that the fireplace didnt work while IT SNOWED during our stay. Vacasa never made an effort to make it right. I will never rent another place with VACASA. Also, general property maintenance noting: (decking boards need work, numerous major deep ruts in final driveway approach need repaired.) Kitchenware needs updating. American Flag holder was broken upon arrival and both (2) ourdoor grill propane tanks were almost empty at arrival. Large cold air draft under front door.We do not like making a bad review but this has been an ongoing issue with this property after talking with multiple people at VACASA during our stay.

Lovely location
The cabin was bright and airy and we loved the location. Most enjoyed spending time on the deck with mountain views and beautiful forest surrounds. Easy accessibility to the NOC and Bryson City was great too. Cabin was well outfitted with all the necessities and very clean. The one suggestion for improvement would be more supportive beds/mattresses as we struggled to get comfy on those provided. Even so, overall had a lovely time and would return to the cabin. Thank you!

Great little cabin
We stayed here for 2 nights and had a great time. We brought along our 3 children and it was an awesome place for kids to run around outside. Very clean. The driveway is steep at the very top but if you hang to the far left you can avoid the big potholes. Our minivan did it just fine.

Our Worst VRBO Stay Ever - June 2023 - 14 nights
This home was so bad that I felt compelled to review 1 year later. 1st, I'd suggest not renting a home managed by Vacasa of North Carolina. If you need anything, good luck. Even they admitted they are very understaffed in the NC market and are not responsive, even after sending over a dozen pics of the filth upon arrival. 2nd, I've never seen a more disgusting property than this. The reviews after our time say how clean the home was - that's because we spent our first night and next day cleaning the entire home, top to bottom, everything. Dog hair was everywhere - all the sheets, blankets, couch cushions literally had dog hair falling off them, hair coated inside the dryer, even the inside of the freezer! Blood stains on a duvet cover & pillow, many other bedding stains. Spent night & next day cleaning. 3rd, Wifi didn't work - Was told by Vacasa that internet was a metered package, so if someone before you uses a lot of it you won't have any. Don't consider if you need to keep tabs on work while away. Working from McDonald's isn't fun. 4th, Property is not maintained; Bathroom sink didn't drain & there's a review from 6 months prior stating it was inoperable, still hadn't been fixed. Damaged/rotted sections of wood on deck, including railings, made it unsafe for small children/pets. There's much more, just no more space for the review. Vacasa eventually refunded the pet fee, which is peanuts compared to time and expense of what we had to do to the home. Look elsewhere.

Vacation 2 years overdue
Saw this property on VRBO. Looked nice, said it had gas logs, smoke free, remote. It was remote and the home itself is nice. When we first opened the door, we were hit immediately with a strong cigarette smell. The gas logs do not work, have never been lit. The shower floor was dirty and looked like it had not been scrubbed in a while. The oven has not been cleaned, black and caked food covering the entire interior. We contacted Vacasa about the smell and fireplace. They said they would put in a ticket. The fireplace was what sold me on the home. Never worked, had to wash the bed linens so we could sleep, aired out the house when we where there and used air deodorizer to try and get the cigarette smell out. My sinuses are still bleeding from the reaction of the smell. Will not ever rent this home again and will not ever rent a home managed by Vacasa. It is ashamed because the home itself is nice and the area is quite. Could have been a very enjoyable stay otherwise. I don't usually post reviews like this but since the response from Vacasa was so lacking, I felt it was necessary. Let us not forget the deck that has a couple of places where the wood has rotted through. Safety hazard!

Great outdoor spaces
Really lovely outdoor spaces. The deck is phenomenal and we enjoyed the covered porch in the rain. The inside is exactly as pictured. The WiFi does not work. At all. This is problematic for those of us who do need to check in to work while on vacation and a HUGE issue to those who work fully remotely. The half mile up the gravel driveway wasn’t terrible. I imagine it could be done in a regular car.

We loved our stay at the happy top cabin. The cabin was very clean and very cute. We would definitely stay here again! Only thing was there was a huge yellow jacket nest under the back deck on the right side and my son and I got stung a couple times on our first day. But other than that everything was amazing!!

Spring Break
My family and I enjoyed our stay. The cabin is very quaint and location ideal - close to town but still feels secluded. The way the company communicates via text/call center isn’t something that impressed me. Two of the issues that I reported never got addressed. I’d certainly come back, but it would be nice to have a local in-town agency/contact person for assistance.

Wonderful Stay!
I HIGHLY recommend this property! I have already sent the link to several of my friends and family. The property was absolutely spotless! The beds were comfortable and we loved that they provided linens. One less thing to worry about! The location was perfect. It was centrally located to everything we wanted to do while there. THE VIEW! Oh my goodness, it was better than I was imagining! We went in December so the leaves were off the trees and it looked like a few had been cut down to make sure visitors had the best view possible. We will definitely be going back!
